.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday Night)
Issued at 345 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Fair weather continues with a slightly warmer day and plenty of
sunshine. Breezy south to southeast winds are possible this
afternoon across the coastal zones (primarily from IAH coastward)
due to the sea/bay breeze. Gusts up to 20 knots will be possible
through sunset.

The weak and dry frontal boundary that moved through the region
earlier this morning will stick around along the coastal
waters/western Gulf early this evening, before finally pushing
further offshore overnight. This front brought a reinforcing mass
of drier air; therefore, no precipitation with low humidity will
continue through the period. Expect another quiet and mostly clear
night with light northerly winds and overnight lows in the 50s.
Patchy, low-lying fog will be possible across our southwestern
counties.

A similar day can be expected on Saturday with dry and sunny
conditions. Southerly surface winds will resume in the afternoon
as the high shifts to our east. As result, expect a gradual
increase in humidity. Highs will generally be in the low to mid
80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 345 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Ridge axis aloft moves overhead by Sunday, continuing with a dry a
warm forecast. At the surface, tight pressure gradient due to a
developing surface low over the high Plains/Midwest will result in a
breezy day. With a surface high to our east, a gradual uptick in
moisture is expected Sunday and through the remainder of the week.
So, it will be warm, but it will also begin to feel humid. The
aforementioned surface front will move across parts of the region
Monday night into Tuesday. At the moment, this front will be dry
and might washout/weaken before it reaches the coast. No
significant impacts are expected other than a brief period of
drier conditions. Ridging aloft strengthens by mid-week, leading
to drier and more humid conditions. Well above normal temperatures
are progged for Thursday and Friday in advance of the next
frontal system. Highs in the upper 80s to low 90s towards the end
of the week. Global models show some rain chances with this FROPA;
however, kept a dry forecast given this far out and
inconsistencies between models in phase and strength.

.MARINE...
Issued at 345 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Light offshore winds will prevail tonight in response to a weak
frontal boundary that is now meandering across the coastal waters.
This boundary is expected to move further offshore late tonight.
Light to occasionally moderate onshore winds will resume by
Saturday afternoon as the high pressure builds over the
western/central Gulf. Breezy onshore winds can be expected Sunday
into Monday ahead of an a secondary weak and dry front that will
try to reach the coastal waters by early Tuesday. As of now, winds
and seas will remain below advisory criteria during this time
frame. However, caution flags will likely be issued. Dry weather
with light to occasionally onshore winds will prevail through the
remainder of the upcoming week.
